Focus Features’ “The Boxtrolls” looks fantastic, and thanks to a CeeLo Green track in the newest trailer, it sounds great, too.
The third preview (above) for the upcoming stop-motion animated film is set to the beat of Green's ”(You're So Square) Baby, I Don't Care,” a song originally performed by Elvis Presley and then Buddy Holly.

“Boxtrolls” comes from LAIKA, the makers of 2010 Best Animated Feature Oscar nominee “Coraline” and 2013 Oscar nominee “ParaNorman.” Graham Annable and Anthony Stacchi co-directed from a script based on on the children's novel “Here Be Monsters” by Alan Snow.
The film follows a young orphaned boy — raised by underground cave-dwelling trash-collecting trolls — who tries to save his friends from an evil exterminator.
Ben Kingsley, Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, Elle Fanning, Tracy Morgan, Richard Ayoade and Toni Collette provide voices in the film, which hits theaters on Sept. 26.
